Your online presence is a determining factor in
the success of your business.
Aside from building a company website, there
are other things you can do to establish your
brand on the internet. A GMB listing is a great
avenue to let people know that your business
exists.
Advanced Digital Media Services is your
partner in the digital world. We have a
dedicated team whose focus is on giving
other businesses the online presence they
deserve. Our team knows what to do to have
a thriving business through Google My
Business listing.
What Is Google Business Listing?
Remember, the goal is to gain a broader
audience on the internet. One way to do so is to
create a 
listing on Google My Business.
Understand that Google My Business is different
from the business profile itself.
Google My Business is a free tool that allows
business owners to manage and optimize their
business profiles on Google. A business profile is a
term Google uses for your Google My Business
listing. It is the one that appears on Google Maps
and search results.
Anyone can create a business profile, even if
they’re not the owner. The information Google
requires in creating a business profile is the
following:
Business Name
Location
Category
Once Google verifies that there’s no duplicate, it
creates a business profile for that specific
location. The Google My Business listing is open to
all customers. They can leave reviews, ask and
answer 
questions, 
and 
upload 
photos.
Additionally, your listing may also get more
information when Google crawls the web.
How to Claim a GMB Listing?
Creating your business profile doesn’t necessarily
mean that you have complete control over posted
details. You need to create a Google My Business
account. Easily access, manage, and edit your
Google My Business listing through your account.
Claiming your business profile on Google only
takes a few, quick steps and this will give you
complete control over the details in your business
profile. Here’s the answer to your question, “how to
claim a GMB listing?”:
1. Search for Your Business on Google Maps.
If you created a Google My Business listing of
your business, you could click on the link in
the confirmation email sent to you. If a listing
already exists, go to Google Maps and search
for your business.
2. Click on “Claim This Business.”
You’ll see the menu options on the left side of the
map. Select “claim this business” and put in the
information needed. From there, change the
business name and any other erroneous details
on the Google My Business listing.
3. Complete the Fields and Verify.
If the listing already exists and you’re claiming it
as your own, there are verification measures you
have to follow. On the other hand, if you created it
from scratch, it’s easier to claim the business as
yours.
What Are the Do’s and Don’ts in Your Google My
Business Listing?
Now that you know the answer to “what is a Google
business listing?” there are things you should and
shouldn’t do when creating your business profile.
Knowing the do’s and don’ts guarantees that you’re
getting the most out of your Google My Business
listing. Here are the things to keep in mind:
1. DON’T put keywords in your business name.
It may be tempting to add a keyword or a specific
location in your business name, but we suggest
that you don’t do it. Putting keywords may give
you a boost from Google rankings. However, when
Google finds out about this, you may find yourself
starting all over again.
2. DO complete all fields of your Google My
Business listing.
All the information in your GMB listing should be
complete and accurate. Google uses 
the
information to show the right results to users who
search for the products or services you provide.
A virtual office
Name of a more prominent location where
your office isn’t located
An address with no staff available
3. DON’T use fake locations when creating your
Google My Business listing.
Google has a clear set of website policies. The
address you provide should exist, and there
should be personnel available during 
the
indicated business hours. Using fake locations will
have your Google My Business account
suspended.
Do not put the following:
4. DO get reviews from your clients.
A single, positive review can turn your business
around (the same goes for negative reviews).
Don’t hesitate to ask your customers or clients to
leave a review on Google after you’ve provided
them a product or service.
5. DON’T delay uploading photos of your
business.
For a successful Google My Business listing,
upload photos of your business once you finish
setting up your GMB account. If there are no
photos, Google will use the Google Maps street
view instead. People might hesitate to visit, call, or
click on your business when there’s no solid proof
that your business exists.

Google My Business listing.
